A teacher watched the debate between Ren and Polina. Read the description of what he saw. Ren concentrated intensely on his notepad, furiously writing notes as Polina presented her negative claim. What would the teacher most likely say to Ren about his listening skills?
Answer
A
Don’t take notes while the other person is speaking.
B
Don’t forget to write down everything while the person speaks.
C
Don’t miss the chance to interject comments while the person speaks.
D
Don’t look down the entire time the other person is speaking.
Explanation
Ren is focused intensely on his notepad and writing while Polina presents her claim, so he may not be making eye contact or showing attention to her. The teacher would most likely advise him not to look down the entire time she is speaking. Taking some notes can be useful, so choice A is too absolute.
